What is the TFCC?

The TFCC complex is a whole which is located on the pink side of the wrist. The function of the complex is to maintain and stabilize the wrist joint and to absorb forces from the outside.

The TFC complex is located on the pink side of the wrist. It is located between the ulna (radius), radius (ulna) and the carpal bones. The TFCC consists of ligaments and cartilaginous discus. Which should ensure that the wrist joint is maintained and forces are absorbed.

In case of injury to the TFCC, the discus, the cartilage or the ligaments are affected. The wrist, when making a movement, will feel painful and nagging.

Causes TFCC injury?

The TFCC injury occurs in most cases when there is an acute overload, much force released on the wrist. This can happen during a fall. During a fall, the wrist is often overstretched or a strange movement within the wrist may be caused by the TFCC.

TFCC injury is common in sports such as gymnastics, boxing, rugby and hockey. The TFCC can also prevent injury to people with a longer radius. The space within the TFCC is smaller and therefore there is a chance that pain is experienced more quickly.

Symptoms and complaints at TFCC
